A resolution in Pakistan's Punjab Assembly was today introduced against Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider, demanding his resignation for making anti-Pakistan remarks.
On disqualification of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif by the Supreme Court in the Panama Papers case last week, Haider had said: "We - the people of Kashmir (PoK) - have to think nowto which country we should make annexation to."
His statement sparked widespread reaction from several political parties.
The resolution, introduced by the Pakistan Peoples' Party legislator Khurram Wattoo, said the statement of Haider has hurt the sentiments of the people of Pakistan and PoK.
Clarifying his statement, Haider later said: "My statement was distorted as I did not mean to say that I would consider annexation to any other country.
